The Fair Share Report

116 Pine St

Wharton, NJ 07885

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $511,750

Likely range $379,157 – $534,492, from 12 comparable Wharton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.46%

The state's official measure of how far Wharton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $511,750 home should be assessed near $473,164.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$391,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $82,164 below what the ratio math suggests (17.4%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wharton home

$2.606 per $100 assessed

$1.736 Schools · 67% $0.250 County · 10% $0.620 Town · 24%

This home's own bill implies $2.485 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$6,472

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Wharton's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
